Another year had passed since Jesse and Crystal had joined IMP and have been making steady cash. Unfortunately for everyone, today was the day of the annual extermination. Jesse and Crystal made their way through the ally ways to avoid the exorcists.

Jesse: Bloody hell, did it have to start while we were outside?

Crystal: I thought we would have had a bit more time.

Jesse: Whatever, right now we need to find somewhere so we can hide.

The two wander through the ally until Crystal spots something in a dumpster.

Jesse: What did you find, mate?

Crystal: pops out of the dumpster Voila!

Crystal holds up a weapon which from closer inspection, turns out to be an angelic spear.

Jesse: Woah, an angelic spear!? Blimey.

Crystal: I guess one of the exorcists must have dropped it. Eh, sucks to be them.

They hear a fight nearby and peak behind a corner to see a sinner struggling against three exorcists. Crystal gets a stern look and runs out, holding her grimoire.

Crystal: Conjures her wings and blasts magic at the angels GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!

The exorcists avoid and get bruised from some of her magic and quickly fly off. One of them gives her a stern look before flying off with her comrades. Jesse runs over to Crystal.

Jesse: That was awesome. But, are you okay?

Crystal: Yeah, as long as the sinner is okay. Are you, sir?

???: Why of course, I'm quite alright my dear. Those angels certainly have no manners. Though I must say, that was quite the spectacle of a performance coming from an imp.

As the sinner stands up and dusts off his coat, he turns to them. Crystal and Jesse slowly gain looks of terror when they realize who it is that she just saved.

Crystal: Y-you're the the. . .

Jesse: Bloody Radio Demon!

Alastor: Why yes, my good sir. Alastor the Radio Demon, at your service. Pleasure to meet you both, quite a pleasure. I must ask though, what are you two doing out here on a day like this. Today's forecast I recall called for skies of deadly exorcists with a heavy rain of bloody murder. Though I must admit, it's always quite a sight to behold, hahahaha!

Crystal: It uh, sorta just started while we were grabbing coffee.

Alastor: Well, ain't that unfortunate for you and rude of them. But regardless, you saved my life and therefore, I . . . owe you a . . . favor, my dear.

Jesse couldn't help but notice Alastor resist admitting that.

Crystal: Um, okay. That's nice to hear. I guess I'll let you know when I'll cash it in. My name is Crystal, by the way. And this is Jesse.

Alastor: Pleasure meeting you both! Tata for now!

Alastor walks away with his signature grin and hums a jolly tune. Jesse looks on with a look of caution while Crystal smiles.

Crystal: He seems nice.

Jesse: Bloody creepy though. I wonder what he's been doing for the past seven years?

Crystal: I don't know, but lets just focus on getting to safety.

The two run off and eventually find a safe place in a hotel building. The two walk inside to find what can only be described as a rundown lobby.

Jesse: Damn, this place looks like it hasn't been occupied in ages.

Crystal: Yeah, it's not too bad though.

Suddenly a spear similar to Crystals is pointed at them by a grey woman with a missing eye.

???: Who the fuck are you two, and what are you doing here?

Jesse: Woah, easy sheila. We're not here to cause trouble. We're just looking for shelter from what's going on out there.

Crystal: Yeah, I'm Crystal, and this is my friend, Jesse. We mean no harm. We even helped a sinner along the way here. What's your name?

Vaggie: . . . Vaggie.

???: Oh my gosh, we have guests!

A blonde woman dressed in a bright red suit rushes down the stairs with a bright smile along with a one eyed cat, happy to greet them. She quickly shakes their hands as the two recognized her.

Charlie: Hi, I'm Charlie! Nice to meet you both! Welcome to the Happy Hotel!

Crystal: Well, uh nice to meet you too, your highness.

Jesse: Didn't think I'd be face to face with the Princess of Hell.

Charlie: Please, come sit with us.

Charlie and Crystal walk over to a sofa and chat. Jesse noticed Vaggie looking at him with a stern look.

Jesse: Did I do something wrong, mate?

Vaggie: No, you just look familiar. Have we met?

Jesse: Um, I don't think so. I feel like I'd remember a face like yours. Especially with that missing eye.

Vaggie: Yeah, true.

The two walk over and join Charlie and Crystal. Crystal and Jesse fill in Charlie and Vaggie on who they are and what they do.

Charlie: So, you're a half-sinner and half-hellhound demon with music abilities who wants to be a Rockstar.

Vaggie: And you're a busy imp who has access to demonic magic after gaining the trust from both a Goetia prince and one of the Sins.

Crystal: That's right.

Jesse: Hit the nail on the head.

Charlie: Well, as someone who has big dreams myself, I can only encourage you to follow your dreams as well, Jesse.

Jesse: Hehe, didn't expect words of encouragement from the princess of Hell.

Charlie: I just want to help my people like my mom did.

Crystal: Speaking of, maybe you could tell us what's going on with your parents?

Jesse: Yeah, Hell hasn't heard from them in quite some time. Seven years to be exact.

Charlie: Honestly, I don't know. I haven't heard from or seen Mom either, and Dad . . . Well, I haven't spoken to him that much either

Vaggie: Yeah, she's been on her own for sometime.

Charlie: That was until you came along.

She kisses Vaggie's cheek who smiles in response.

Crystal: Aww, you two are dating.

Jesse: Bloody, sweet.

Vaggie: Shit, were you hurt?!

Vaggie points to the scar on Jesse's chest. Jesse moves his jacket aside and chuckles.

Jesse: Oh, this old bugger? Don't worry, got it a couple years ago during the annual purge. Damn exorcist slashed me across the chest and left me a bloody mess. Would have been a goner if not for my best pal here.

Crystal: Happy to help.

Vaggie's eye widened as he explained.

Vaggie: Damn, that uh, that must have hurt bad.

Jesse: Hurt like the bloody devil. And I haven't even met the devil.

They all laugh in response except Vaggie.

Crystal: Anyway, enough about us. How about you two? What are you doing in this place?

Jesse: Also, what did you call it? The Happy Hotel or some shit?

Charlie: Yes! I wanted to come up with a solution to Hell's overpopulation problem and to end the annual exterminations that Heaven holds. So I came up with this place! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners so they can move up to Heaven.

Crystal: Oh, that's a nice plan.

Jesse: Uh, that's good and all, mate. But, how do you know sinners will come to this place? I can tell ya from experience that not all the lot are bad, but most are just pissing wankers.

Charlie: Oh come on, don't be like that. I'm sure there are nice ones who want a chance at redemption. In fact, we already have a patron.

Crystal: You do? looks around

Vaggie: Well, he's out at the moment. Hopefully somewhere safe. But yes, he is our patron, even if his progress is a little slow. His name is Angel Dust.

Jesse/Crystal: The pornstar!?

Vaggie: The very same.

Jesse: Hm, well looks like you could use some help then.

Charlie: eyes sparkling Really?

Vaggie: You wanna help?

Jesse: Yeah, the two of us maybe hell-born, but we still wanna help where we can.

Crystal: Yeah, I can do a number of things. Like cooking.

Jesse: Trust me, she makes some bloody good meals that are to die for.

Vaggie: Hm, well we do need some food around here. What about you, fox boy?

Jesse: I can provide the ambiance. I am a rocker after all. And Crystal here is my band mate.

Crystal: I play keytar and provide backup vocals.

Charlie: That sounds amazing!

Charlie said in a sing songy voice that gets Crystal and Jesse to chuckle a bit.

Charlie: It's settled then. You two have a job here. And you can live here if you like.

Jesse: Really?

Vaggie: Of course, we got plenty of rooms.

Jesse: Well, this place certainly beats my shitty apartment. I guess it'll do for the time being.

Charlie runs over and hugs them.

Charlie: This is going to be amazing! checks the clock Oh, the extermination is over. I better head up and signal everyone.

Charlie runs upstairs with a bright smile. Vaggie soon follows while Crystal and Jesse smile.

Jesse: I think I'm gonna love it here.

Crystal: Same, Lilac could use some friends. Hope she doesn't chase that cat around.

Jesse and Crystal laugh as they go to claim rooms. Jesse also texts his girlfriend.

Jesse: "Hey, love. Just wanted to let you know that I'm alright (: <3"

GF: "Thank Satan!! I was worried sick! Hope to see you soon, love you <3"

Jesse: "Love you too! <3"

He puts his phone away and walks in to one room and examine it, getting ready for what this hotel has in store.
